This past week, I’ve been doing my nails a few days in advance of when I actually want to post, and then redoing them on the same day. This whole having something in the can in advance is making me feel a bit chiller about trying to get back into a regular painting routine. It also helps that my older… Read more »

Z had gone outside to water the sunflowers earlier, so I wandered out afterwards so I could claim that I actually went outside once today. I sat on the stoop to chat, and noticed this specimen. Um… since when did Godzilla breed with a dandelion? I need to see if I can find out what it is, besides ‘really gigantic… Read more »

If there is one thing that has made this lockdown period tenable for Smaller, it’s that she’s able to spend loads of time playing Minecraft and watching related videos. She is easily my equal in general knowledge, and my superior in some of the fiddlier bits, like potion-making. While I will not out and out play a game with her yet… Read more »

This is my patient-with-cat face. He’s standing next to me whining again, because that’s what my clingy furboy does. He ran off for a second, and is now standing next to me staring. What do you want child, what do you want. *chuckles* I wouldn’t have it any other way though. He’s a good boy, and I know there’s gonna… Read more »

Today has been an ultra-pleasant, lovely day. It’s a bit colder again, windy, bit of rain, bit of sun. But after the heat the last couple of days, it’s just been. Nice. *chuckles* Z and even managed to rub a few spoons together and get a bit of the clutter pushed back. He did it ’cause he wanted to test… Read more »

So. I like pens. I am picky about pens. I am picky about pens to the degree that disposables of certain colours have to be certain makes from certain brands to be the right colour. This here, my delivery of vigintituplets? 20 pens in my Etsy store-related colour for less than £4, delivered the next day… yaaassssss. Z is very… Read more »

This picture was taken earlier in Mum’s back garden. We’d popped around to take some birthday cards, and as part of our distancing efforts, we continue to meet around the back. I’d plopped down in front of her potted maple, which I adore. I don’t know what kind it is, but I’ve asked Z to ask her when he runs… Read more »

On a trip to the postbox earlier, I spotted that my little carnie friend seems to be doing better. Or, at least, has made some new friends, ha ha. Hopefully they’ll do okay in the face of this fierce heat we’re having. Like, it’s mid-80s today, and it’s gonna be high 80s tomorrow. Add in the fact the sun feels… Read more »

When I was turning the a/c off last night, I hadn’t plugged the bottom before turning it on. The plug? Oh, so you can drain off the condensation the machine collected, ha ha. So I jarred it, and it started pouring into a bag of yarn that was right underneath it. Whups? Well done, ha ha. For all my brain… Read more »

This entire week is set to be rudely warm, so Z and I made the effort to get both of the air conditioners up and running. ((zoned out and forgot to finish, whups xD))
